AI and Elections Disinformation, Deepfakes, Dystopia
summary
Generative AI is turbocharging election risks: millions of cheap, believable fakes, a cited 1200% increase in robocall fraud, and viral scams like the fake “Biden calls” robocall. Regulation offers tools — AI Act mandates labels for deepfakes and bans biometric political profiling — but gaps remain: general-purpose models slip through high-risk rules, DSA thresholds miss many model providers, watermarking and detection can be defeated, and coordinated legal, technical and cross-border enforcement is still unfinished.
